Selective demolition means taking out part of a building while the rest stays standing. That is a different job than flattening a structure. The machine work stops at a line, and everything past that line stays protected. Global Construction and Home Repair is a demolition contractor in Valrico doing this work across the Tampa Bay area.
Most calls land in one of two places. An addition, a damaged wing or an attached garage comes off the house. Or the inside gets stripped to the studs for a remodel or a flood dry-out. A whole structure coming down is a full house demolition instead.

A partial demolition starts with a line. We look at the structure and mark where the demolition stops. Then we work out how the piece coming off is tied to the piece staying. That means shared framing, a shared roof line, siding, wiring and plumbing running through the wall.
The separation happens before the excavator touches anything. Wiring and plumbing get cut back and capped. The wall that will be left exposed gets braced and closed in. Only then does the machine start pulling material down.
A Tampa Bay homeowner had the ground floor of a house flooded by Hurricane Helene. It had to come out while the garage and the ADU above it stayed, and the pool stayed too. The customer wrote that several other companies had declined the job. We took it down and left the rest standing.
Interior demolition strips a building back to its frame. Drywall, ceilings, insulation, flooring, tile, cabinets and fixtures all come out. What stays is the structure, the roof and the exterior walls. Your builder or remodeler takes the space from there.
Flood work is its own version of this. Wet drywall and insulation have to come out fast so the framing can dry. We cut the drywall above the water line, pull the wet material and haul it away. One customer came to us after the 2024 hurricanes to gut flooded homes so they could dry out.
Commercial spaces run the same way. Retail units, offices, restaurant spaces and storage areas get stripped for the next tenant. If the space still holds shelving, fixtures and leftover stock, that part is a commercial cleanout. We handle both on the same job.
Selective work needs a plan for everything that is staying put. Pools, driveways, screen enclosures, trees and the building next door get protected before the machine moves. We set where the excavator sits and where the trucks load, so nothing rolls over what stays. If the pool is going too, that is pool removal and it goes in the same estimate.
Hillsborough County requires a demolition permit, and work on a structure that stays can need a building permit too. Which ones apply depends on what is coming out and who has jurisdiction. Tampa, Temple Terrace and Plant City run their own permit offices. We check before the job starts.
Florida requires an asbestos inspection by a licensed asbestos consultant before work on regulated buildings. Notice goes to the local air program at least 10 working days ahead. In Hillsborough County the Environmental Protection Commission takes those notices. The rules read differently for a house than for a commercial building, so confirm your project with the county.
From the first call or text to the clean lot at the end, here is how it goes.
Call or text (813) 239-4231 with the address and what needs to come down. Photos of the structure help before we come out.
We come to the property and look at the structure or the lot. Size, what it is built of, access for the machines and where the debris goes all set the price. The estimate is free.
Hillsborough County requires a demolition permit, and it wants utility sign-offs before it issues one. A licensed asbestos inspector surveys the buildings the state rule covers. We work around the permit and the survey, and we confirm what your address needs.
The excavator comes in and the structure comes down. Anything you are keeping stays protected while that happens. Debris goes into dump trucks and trailers as we work.
The last loads go out, and the slab and foundation go with them when you want them gone. We grade the ground so the lot sits level. Then you have a lot you can build on, sell or use.

We haul construction and demolition debris off job sites, remodels and teardowns around Tampa Bay. Concrete, lumber, drywall and metal get loaded with the excavator and hauled out in dump trucks.
Learn MoreThe demolition and construction work behind this company goes back more than three decades in the Tampa Bay area. Houses, garages, commercial buildings, pools and mobile homes have all come down. Storm and flood teardowns are part of that record.
One company takes the structure down, hauls the debris off and grades what is left. The dirt work after a teardown runs on the same job and the same schedule. That is one number to call, from the estimate to the finished lot.
We work about 50 miles out from Valrico. That covers Hillsborough County towns like Tampa, Brandon, Riverview and Plant City, plus Lakeland and Winter Haven in Polk County. Wesley Chapel, Zephyrhills and Land O' Lakes in Pasco County are in range too.
We come out, look at the structure or the lot and tell you how the job would run. The price comes from what is actually standing there. The visit is free and the work starts when you say go.
